Budapest
is not only a beautiful, historical and cultural city, but it has been a
spa destination as far back as Roman times. It is very rich in natural
healing thermal springs beneath the city which are the basis of the
balneotherapy ‘cures’ the city is known for
and are utilized for mineral baths, underwater massage, mud packs and water
gymnastics. In addition, all manner of health and beauty therapies are used
including galvanic treatments, acupuncture, ultra-sound, physical therapy
with and without equipment, and full medical care. These therapies are
specifically recommended for
arthritis, rheumatism, back and joint pains,
locomotion problems, sports injuries and rehabilitation post surgery.
and are
used in two basic ways: for
bathing and as a drinking cure. The 'Drinking Cure' means to drink the
mineral waters for their curative
effects and are excellent for gastro-intestinal, dietary purposes, etc.
Bathing for medical purposes has a millennial past in Europe.
Bathing had different and various functions among ancient peoples. Hippocrates examined
the utilization of medicinal waters for treatment. Several of his conclusions are still
valid today. A new prospering era of balneology - the science of medicinal waters -
together with hydro-therapy - water cure - started in the 19th century. The aspects of
hydrotherapy have changed significantly during the last few decades. Today’s
treatments are not restricted to using medicinal waters only. A contemporary “spa
physician” is a rheumatologist, internist or gynecologist with a wide range of
knowledge. A complex therapy including the use of medicinal waters, physical exercises,
massages, electrotherapy and diet plan shows better and quicker results.
Modern
and extensive dental and cosmetic surgery programs have also now become
extremely popular with international guests as the positive comments
regarding the quality of the service coupled with the low costs have spread
worldwide.
Margitsziget
Island, in the middle of the Danube River, is uniquely located near the
heart of the city and a pedestrian bridge to the city center allows for a
scenic and aerobic excursion. An idyllic traffic free park oasis the island
has no commercial or residential buildings other than two main spa hotels
with large, very modern all-inclusive spa centers. Famous
for mineral rich thermal waters these hotels have long been the Mecca for
"spa curists". The spa center is huge and offers every type of therapy for
fitness, beauty and therapeutic programs. The 2 hotels & spa are joined by
an indoor corridor that afford
guests not only full health programs but a peaceful area to relax and
communicate with nature. Though ‘curists’ have popularized the island it is
also a good choice for people who wish to have a peaceful, relaxing holiday
without the noise or congestion of the city. And yet it is all there in a
matter of minutes when the desire to explore the city comes over you, or you
want to sit at a sidewalk café enjoying the mouth watering Hungarian
pastries or a Hungarian goulash dinner in a historical restaurant.
